I never really looked into it or thought more about it. I didn't think in my wildest dreams that Fibro could be the cause of anything with my gastro. Well, it is possible.
Today I had an appt with my primary care doctor. She is just awesome and I am very thankful for her. We talked about everything I am going through, not just gastro. On here with most of you online I have only shared my gastro stuff. There are many other issues:
Daily headaches
Gastro stuff
Cycles off
Chronic Fatigue
Pain all over my body
Weakness, lsoing strength
"Depression" I hate that word. It is just the word they use for excessive Serotonin
Memory Loss
Memory, Brain, fog
Chest Pains
and more...just tired of listing them....lol
So, my doctor agrees with me that with m y age, the fact that I don't drink, smoke, or eat excessively junky, and I take vitamins regularly that there has to be something that is causing all this. She truly believes that it all comes down to one thing. But, we don't know what that one thing is.....Lupus, Fibro, Thyroid, etc.... So now we are on a quest to rule out all we can and go with what we know. So I did some of my own research tonight and found some very interesting articles about Fibro, which I was dx with back in 2010, and gastro problems. This one really hit the nail on the head and made so much sense

Another idea we are looking into is Lyme's Disease. We don't really think it is that but why not rule it out. If this is all just Fibro then all my tests will continue to show "nothin is wrong." Why? Well, all these things are just symptoms of Fibromyalgia. It is the Fibro that we will have to take care of. Hopefully it is that easy.....
Please pray as we begin some testing to see if we can pin point all this and narrow it down to something. That is her goal!!
Next week I head to Boston to see the doctor there. I am interested to see what he says. So, we shall see what happens.
